Chapter 453 The Defying Path Dominator, All Realms Return to Their Origin (Grand Finale)

The moment his fingertips touched the crystal core, Nightmare's Sea of Consciousness was submerged by a torrent of billions of Universes.

It wasn't an illusion, but real memories sealed within the core of the Myriad Domains' Origin—the initial opening of the Grandmist, the evolution of Chaos, the Reincarnation of countless Universes from birth to annihilation, and... the lingering shadows of those who had attempted to fuse with the core but ultimately failed.

There were giant gods who had transformed into stars, ancient Cultivators who controlled time, and demonic creatures that devoured laws... The aura of each one was no weaker than his at this moment, some even stronger.

But they had all failed.

The consequence of failure was for their Divine Soul to be assimilated by the core, becoming a part of this crystal, sinking into eternal oblivion.

"Another one coming to seek death."

An aged voice echoed within Nightmare's Sea of Consciousness; it was the Remnant Thought of some failed predecessor:

"Give up, kid. The Myriad Domains' Origin is not something a living being can grasp. Forcing a Fusion will only turn you into its nourishment."

Another sharp voice sneered:

"Another pretentious one, heh... Back then, I also thought I was the chosen one of destiny."

"Die, just like us, and stay here forever..."

Countless Remnant Thoughts surged like a tide, attempting to erode Nightmare's sanity and drag him into eternal madness.

Nightmare closed his eyes, letting those voices echo through his Sea of Consciousness.

Three breaths later, he opened his eyes.

The "Chaos" within his eyes suddenly boiled:

"Noisy."

He uttered only two words.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Reverse Dao Dominator's Demonic Flame erupted! The pitch-black flames transformed into countless chains, tightly binding, dragging, and incinerating those Remnant Thoughts!

"Ah—!! What kind of flame is this?!"

"No! Impossible! How can there be a power within the Myriad Domains' Origin that can harm us?!"

"You... who exactly are you..."

Screams, wails, and curses intertwined, only to be swiftly extinguished within the Demonic Flame.

Nightmare's Divine Sense returned to clarity, and his gaze fell back upon the crystal core in his palm.

"Now, it is quiet."

His five fingers slowly closed, gripping the crystal core in his palm.

"Fusion."

It wasn't a request, nor a probe; it was a command.

"Buzz—!!"

The crystal core vibrated violently, billions of lights flashing frantically as it tried to break free! A terrifying repulsive force erupted, enough to grind the entire Chaos Domain into dust!

Countless cracks appeared on the surface of Nightmare's body, and blood was evaporated as soon as it seeped out, but the hand holding the core did not move an inch.

"You nurtured the myriad domains and consider yourself supreme."

He spoke in a low voice, his words echoing in the empty core region:

"But today, I shall tell you—"

Demonic Flame surged from his palm, drilling into the interior of the crystal core along the cracks!

"The so-called supreme is meant to be stepped upon."

"The so-called rules are meant to be broken."

"The so-called Origin—"

The Chaos light in his eyes flared up:

"Is meant to be controlled by me!"

"Reverse Dao Dominator · Heaven Devourer!"

"Boom—!!!"

The entire Grandmist Chaos Sea boiled frantically at this moment! Countless Origin air currents swept back, pouring into Nightmare's body! The light of the crystal core in his hand gradually dimmed, and the billions of colors flowing within began to be stained and assimilated by the pitch-black Demonic Flame!

The Fusion had begun.

---

Time lost its meaning here.

Perhaps it was a hundred years, or perhaps just an instant.

When Nightmare opened his eyes again, the crystal core in his palm had disappeared.

In its place, deep within the "Chaos" in his eyes, there was now a slowly rotating miniature core phantom, pitch-black with billions of light streams flowing through it.

The myriad domains origin core had completely fused with him.

He slowly stood up.

There was no eruption of aura, no spreading of pressure.

But the moment he stood there, the entire Grandmist Chaos Sea, and even all the Universes it nurtured—Grandmist, Chaos, and countless unknown planes—all rules and all living beings felt an inexplicable tremor in their hearts at this instant.

It was as if some supreme existence had awakened.

Nightmare looked down at his right hand.

He gently clenched his five fingers.

"Buzz—"

In his palm, a complete miniature Universe was created out of thin air, with sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and multiplying living beings.

He clenched again.

The Universe was annihilated, returning to nothingness.

Creation and destruction were within a single thought of his.

This was—

The Reverse Dao Grandmist Chaos Dominator.

Transcending all rules, reigning above the myriad domains.

He looked up, his gaze piercing through the endless Void Realm. He "saw" the Chaos Reverse Path Heavenly Palace, saw Zuo Feng and the other two cultivating, saw Mo Xuan managing the two domains, and also saw the Cultivators in those surrendered tribes who were scheming against each other for a few resources.

Everything was within his sight.

Everything was within his control.

"It's time to go back."

He took a step forward, and his figure vanished.

---

Chaos Reverse Path Heavenly Palace.

In the main hall, Mo Xuan was processing a report on a border conflict when he suddenly paused.

Not just him, but every Cultivator in the hall, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a great shock in their hearts at this moment and couldn't help but kneel on the ground!

A figure silently appeared upon the Imperial Throne.

Nightmare.

He sat there as if he had existed since ancient times, merging as one with the entire Heavenly Palace, the entire Chaos Domain, and even the Void Realm of the myriad domains.

"Lord... Lordship?" Mo Xuan's voice trembled.

Nightmare nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall, then piercing through the palace walls to look out at the endless Void Realm.

He spoke, his voice not loud, yet it clearly resonated in every corner of the myriad domains, entering the Sea of Consciousness of every living being:

"My name is Nightmare."

"From this day forth, I am the Reverse Dao Grandmist Chaos Dominator, ruling over the myriad domains."

"Within the myriad domains, all who practice the Reverse Path may share in the Origin and receive my protection."

"Those who oppose me—"

He paused, his voice turning cold:

"Though separated by billions of miles, they can be executed with a single thought."

As his voice fell, the myriad domains went silent.

After a brief silence, a mountain-shaking tide of submission gathered from countless Universes and countless planes!

Nightmare could clearly sense the awe, fear, and worship in those thoughts, as well as... a few deeply hidden traces of unwillingness and resentment.

He didn't care.

"Mo Xuan."

"Present!"

"From today, establish the 'Myriad Domains Governance Center' at the Heavenly Palace. You shall be the Chief Executive of the Center, overseeing the daily affairs of the myriad domains."

"Zuo Feng, Right Wing, Dark Blade."

The three figures appeared, kneeling on one knee:

"Present!"

"The three of you are appointed as 'Myriad Domains Guardians,' each guarding a region, inspecting the myriad domains, with the authority to act first and report later."

"Others with merit shall be appointed as 'Domain Lords' according to their contributions, each governing a world."

He looked toward the endless Void Realm outside the hall:

"Within the myriad domains, the 'Reverse Dao Eternal Order' is established."

"First, all Cultivators of the myriad domains may study the Reverse Dao Legacy and obtain resources based on their Aptitude."

"Second, unprovoked warfare and the indiscriminate killing of the innocent are forbidden. Violators will have their world annihilated."

"Third, resources of the myriad domains are distributed according to need. The strong shall not monopolize, and the weak shall not beg."

"This order shall be supervised and executed by the Myriad Domains Center, and inspected and maintained by the Guardians."

"Under the Reverse Dao—"

He slowly stood up, the Chaos light in his eyes illuminating the entire hall:

"All domains return to the source, and there shall be eternal peace."

As his voice fell, the myriad domains resonated.

The Luck of countless Universes began to gather toward the Chaos Reverse Path Heavenly Palace, and countless rules submitted to him at this moment.

Nightmare turned and walked toward the depths of the Heavenly Palace.

His path was not yet finished.

Dominating the myriad domains was only the beginning.

Was there something even higher above the Reverse Dao?

He didn't know.

But he would go and explore.

He would keep exploring.

Because he was Nightmare.

He was the Reverse Dao Grandmist Chaos Dominator.

The sole—

**King of the Myriad Domains.**
